The Northwestern College Preservation of Campus Heritage Planning Project was made possible by the generous support of the J. Paul Getty Trust. In 2004, The Getty Foundation awarded Northwestern College a Campus Heritage Grant.

The grant has enabled Northwestern to compile research on the historic Nazareth Hall buildings, to create a preservation plan for the historic campus, to launch ongoing educational activities related to the history and to establish a Preservation of Campus Heritage Committee to oversee the Historic Preservation Plan.

Northwestern College recognizes the historical and architectural significance of our campus and we value its heritage. The Committee believes that the recommendations and careful implementation of the preservation plan will provide even greater opportunities for stewardship as we seek to preserve these buildings for future generations.
